Marko Lindqvist<p>I used to say that running <a href="https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">worldcommunitygrid.org/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/worldcommunitygrid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>worldcommunitygrid</span></a> is completely free, as the CPU time I put to it would otherwise go to waste as idling. Nowadays one may need to adjust that statement a bit, as there would also be the option to mine crypto currencies instead. Maybe I've lost some revenue by donating so far 95 years worth of CPU time to scientific research? No plans to change my course of action, though. This research is more important than some coins on my bank account.</p>

chris<p>Any <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/WorldCommunityGrid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WorldCommunityGrid</span></a> users out there? I've been running BOINC for about 4 days now, my account appears to be associated with WCG, Yet WCG keeps telling me "It looks like you haven't installed the World Community Grid software yet. Download the software, and in a few minutes you could be contributing." - my WCG is all in order, BOINC is downloading and working on their work - any ideas what is going on?</p>
